NEIL Rhodes will continue to serve as temporary chief constable of Lincolnshire Police.
A statement was released this morning by the county's Police and Crime Commissioner, Alan Hardwick.
As reported, Mr Rhodes was suspended last month because he was involved in the pursuit of racial discrimination claims which "he knew were a contrivance".
At the end of March, a court quashed his suspension.
The full statement reads: "After discussions over the weekend, the Commissioner Alan Hardwick and Temporary Chief Constable Neil Rhodes have jointly agreed that the best interests of Lincolnshire Police would be served by Neil Rhodes continuing as Temporary Chief Constable.
"He would continue until the completion of the investigation into allegations about his conduct and any consequent procedures were complete.
"The recruitment of a permanent Chief Constable would also be delayed pending this outcome.
"In reaching this agreement the importance of stability in the leadership of the force was the primary concern."
